The Facts

Real-world incidents where improved radio communication standards and better training resources could have prevented serious accidents and even saved lives.

Fatal Dozer/Light Vehicle Collision – No Positive Radio Communication (2019)

"A dozer reversed over a light vehicle at Snapper Mineral Sands Mine, fatally injuring the driver. The investigation found the light vehicle operator entered the dozer's work area without establishing positive radio communication, breaching site procedures."
NSW Resources Regulator, Report into the Death of Mr Andrew Bray (2019)

100-Tonne Dozer Crushes Ute Due to Radio Channel Mix-Up (2020)

"A mix up in radio channels resulted in a 100-tonne dozer reversing over a light vehicle at Mount Arthur coal mine. The light vehicle was crushed, but fortunately no one was inside at the time. The incident had the potential for serious injury or fatality."
Australasian Mine Safety Journal, Dozer Crushes Ute Incident (2020)

Underground Mine Collision Due to Radio Protocol Failure (2024)

"There was no positive communication between the light vehicle or either of the ITCs. The preliminary investigation identified failure of positive two-way communication as a key factor."
NSW Resources Regulator, Safety Alert SA24-02 (2024)

Dozer and Haul Truck Collision at Tip Head – No Radio Contact (2020)

"A dozer and a haul truck collided at a tip head. Investigations identified a lack of positive communication as a contributing factor."

Excavator Collides with Water Truck – No Two-Way Radio Used (2023)

"The water truck had not used positive two-way radio communications with the excavator operator. The excavator operator, unaware of the hazard, collided with the nearby water truck."
Resources Safety and Health Queensland, Safety Notice (2023)

Multiple Plant Collisions Due to Communication Failures (2018)

"Four serious incidents occurred at NSW mine sites involving mobile plant collisions. Causes included operators using different radio channels, high radio traffic preventing communication, and failure to establish positive communication before entering shared work areas. No injuries occurred, but the potential for serious harm was significant."
